Mammoth

I sweat it out on the first ascent
June lake passing to the left of us
Eyes down better watch my step
I need to know how to trust myself
Can you walk me through this?
I was bitching bout your worn-out tent
Silver moon shining on our skin
How did you see me through the bitterness
You held me tight when I needed it
Can you hold me through this?
Can you hold me through this?
I can see it all I close my eyes
It’s awful quiet
Closer to andromeda
I hear my thoughts they’re coming on
And I start to fall getting dizzy from
The weight of it all
You walk me through this
Felt my heartbeat in my fingertips
My body telling me that I should quit
I’ve never been the type for giving in
But is it living if it’s gotta feel like this?
Can you walk me through this?
I let it out on the final stretch
And walked straight out to the river’s edge
When the waters this cold you gotta plunge right in
I close my eyes, you count down from 10
Can you talk me through this?
Can you walk me through?
Can you get me through?
